I tried to make truss-braced wings and it now tilts down, left Truss-braced wing has pieces that fall of, and some of the plane has improvment as its wings used to be below the windows. Truss-Braced Wings are currently being tested by NASA, and Boeing partnering together.
Aviation is a passion of mine, but I can't help but feel that so little ever changes. Airplanes have more or less, looked the same for decades, and for good reason. Qualifying a new airplane to ensure safety is no small feat. But NASA has teamed up with Boeing to work on a new airframe that reduces fuel costs by 30% and would be a total game changer. From lower carbon emissions to cheaper plane tickets, the truss braced wing is a game-changer. But how does it work, and is it actually going to be something you'll fly in one day?
Because of this i have re-created a model of it and even though it has a few problems, I think it looks great.
You can get more info of what its supposed to look like and how it’ll change the flight industry forever at:
(Yes i copied some text from the video, but it was too good not to.) this is now my 2nd build and i hope it shows improvment!
